INTRO: C   F  C   F  G

C
Sometimes I'm an idiot
            F            C
Many of you know that by now
               Am
Sometimes I am not
            Am7              G
But this is not as clear somehow


     F           C
So I go about my work
       F               C
Making my mistakes out loud
      F           C
Maybe everybody's failures
       Am             G
Are in earshot of the crowd


F               C
Sailing down to Panama
      F              C
Gonna run across the isthmuth
  F               C
I had a heart for art's sake
       Am              G
But no stomach for the business


     F              C
If I had a head for figures
        F          C
I would be another guy
           F                 C
Instead of chopping up these onions
    Am            G
And trying not to cry
F             C     F  C  G
Trying not to cry


        C
I could say I never sold out
             F             C
But that's a slogan of the poor
                        Am
Of course you learn the hard way
       Am7            G
Or you never know for sure


F            C
Yes, I am in trouble again
         F                C
And I've gone from bad to worse
F                   C                      G    C
Maybe it's just the shape of the world I'm in
F                   C                      G  
Maybe it's just the shape of the world I'm in

BRIDGE:
Am            G
No, I'm not a galley slave
    Am               G
But that's become my role
Am               G 
Still I can't complain too much
      Bb          Dm  G
In my high school Espanol
